Get Involved: Ministry & Outreach

Welcome! The way we share our time and talent is an expression of our Stewardship! We have many opportunities available for involvment and we need YOU! This community of faith needs your specific gifts and skills.

Take some time to scroll through all the great ministries we have, our hone your search by exploring a particular category that appeals to you (see Categories on right). If you would like to join a ministry or would simply like to know more about participating in a ministry, you can Contact Us in the Parish Office anytime.

Everyone has a gift they can share, and no gift is insignificant. We need people to help with the weekly church laundry as much as we need people to coordinate our grand annual Fall Festival. Not sure what your gifts are? Call us and let's start the conversation about how you can further Assumption's mission and bring Christ to the world!
